Good Morning!
I imagine most of you have seen the forecast for this Sunday and Monday and a few have contacted me for my call on opening on Monday. If the forecast (posted below) comes to fruition, we will be closed on Monday. While we generally do not close alongside of the public schools for temperature only, the forecast is to get dumped on with snow on Sunday and record setting subzero lows on Monday.
I hope this lets you plan better for Monday and if the weather prediction is incorrect, I will email you by 7:30 a.m. on Monday morning with the revision.
As always, I am so sorry for any inconvenience closing can cause. I do not close our program without great thought and anxiety.

This is a free service that allows me to blast text anyone who has signed up for the service any emergency information, like closings. I won’t know who has signed up, since the service keeps subscribers private. (Not necessary for us, but keeping in mind the service is free, I’ll go with it!)

So when I have emergency/closing information, I’ll:
1. Send a blast text to those who have subscribed (immediate notification)
2. Email families (keeping in mind, sometimes emails aren’t immediate and get stuck in cyberland)
3. Post a blog (those signed up get email notifications, but that can be flakey)
